I struggle with China being labeled a developing country. Really struggle. China is a socially advanced nation with some of the oldest and most well-established traditions, and also one of the world's most advanced and time-honored cultures. It’s time we looked past labeling people based solely on economics.If you travel through Asian nations and particularly South East Asia, you will see that Chinese culture is at the very root of many these nations, as if it were the seed.You will also see that China today is at the root of the development of many of these nations via business development, government assistance, and social programs.If we continue to focus on China’s overseas spending, you would soon start to realize that this is not the sort of activity that would be attributed to a country that is ‘developing’ and understand that China has massive economic might.Is there no poverty in China? There is much. But it is their own choice as they have enormous resources to be able to solve these problems. They have made the choice not to focus on short-term alleviation of poverty and advancement of social welfare for citizens, but to spend their resources on a longer term vision. A vision of a more globally powerful China with long-term benefits for the people of China and the stance of CCP.Thus, based on social development and economics, I think it is a big stretch to continue calling China ‘a developing nation’. A fast developing superpower would be more appropriate.How should Western countries respond? Western countries have no response. Western countries are crippled by democracy, ideology, social division, lack of uniting beliefs and values, short-term thinking, and the heavy economic burden of having to sustain huge welfare systems which limits their abilites to take action or stances based on ideals at the risk of loosing trade.The global institutions that have held world order for so long are irrelevant to China, excepting for when they align with her own goals and until such time it sets the values and direction of these institutions or creates its own as replacements.How is this possible? By not going to war, and by playing a simple game of numbers. If you calculate the number of people in Asia, and those to be connected via the One Belt One Road, it becomes a majority grouping. A grouping of which China would be the economic superpower and military superpower. Suddenly, Western thinking and power are in the minority, and China is free to create and set the agenda for the world.Is this a bad thing? Probably not. Just different, you can still go get your coffee each morning, go to work, raise a family or whatever you want. But it will be a shift away from individualism, western values of free speech/free media, and a shift in the conceptual way western people think about human rights.The future question may be, ‘How will India, Russia and the Muslim world respond to China as a world superpower?’.
為中國貼上發展中國家的標籤我很掙扎。真的很掙扎。中國是一個社會很進步的國家，擁有一些世界上最古老和最悠久的傳統，也是世界上最先進和最古老的文化之一。是時候拋棄那些完全基於經濟學來給人貼標籤的做法了。如果你穿越亞洲國家，特別是東南亞，你會發現中國文化是這些國家的根源，就好像是種子一樣。你們還會看到，今天的中國是這些國家能夠通過商業發展、政府援助和社會項目發展的根源。
你看你說這怎麼可能？讓我們不去打仗，只需玩一個簡單的數字遊戲就能說明。如果你計算一下亞洲的人數，以及那些通過一帶一路連接起來的人，你會發現它就會成為一個多數群體。中國將成為經濟超級大國和軍事超級大國的團體。突然之間，西方的思想和權力成為了少數派，所以中國可以自由地為世界創造和制定議程。這是件壞事嗎？可能不是。不同的是，你仍然可以每天早上去喝咖啡，去上班，撫養一個家庭，或者任何你想要的東西。但這將是對個人主義、西方言論自由/自由媒體價值觀的轉變，也是西方人看待人權的觀念方式的轉變。未來的問題可能是，‘印度、俄羅斯和穆斯林世界將如何回應中國作為一個世界超級大國？’

Western countries will do more trade with China and try to make money. Many developing countries will also have an option make money by doing trade with China.It will increase overall wealth of this planet.What western countries need to fearMore competition in trade from the east.More innovation from China will compensate less innovation coming from Europe.France will be more convinced that neocolonialism is bad, or probably Chinese will teach them a lesson.The US will have to deal with China and Chinese veto in security council before starting another war. A developed China will make any war started by the US more expensive. Imagine Syrian war doesn’t end because China openly supports some anti West group and western countries are getting terrorist attacks more often than before.What western countries need not to fearJob lossChina polluting too much.
西方國家將與中國做更多的貿易，並努力賺錢。許多發展中國家也可以通過與中國做貿易賺錢。它將增加這個星球的整體財富。西方國家需要擔心的是：1.來自東方的貿易競爭加劇。2.來自中國的更多創新將彌補來自歐洲的較少創新。3.法國將更加相信新殖民主義是不好的，或者中國人可能會給他們一個教訓。4.在發動另一場戰爭之前，美國將不得不在安理會中處理中國和中國的否決權問題。一個發達的中國將使美國發動的任何戰爭的成本變得更加昂貴。可以想象到時候敘利亞戰爭並沒有結束，因為中國公開支持一些反西方組織，西方國家會比以前更頻繁地受到恐怖襲擊。
西方國家不需要害怕的是：1.失業2.中國汙染太多。
Linus SkovChina, to some extent, is already a developed country. It’s has underdeveloped rural regions and a population poor in comparison to that of the West, but it’s still the world’s second or third largest economy, and one of the fastest growing, if the CCP is to be believed.So we don’t need to guess. We can already see the reactions.The answer differs from Westerner to Westerner, since there are probably over a billion of us, by any reasonable definition. Mostly, the reaction is divided between those who:don’t really understand economics and geopolitics, and think that both are zero-sum games, and that China’s rise is a direct attack on the West, and an attempt at assailing our positiongrasp the basics, and know that a wealthier China does not need to come at the cost of a wealthy West. In fact, the growing Chinese middle class and the industrious Chinese business community presents a lot of opportunities for Westerners. Those who don’t resort to a binary worldview will undoubtedly attempt to capitalize on the wealth of China, as they have capitalized on it’s poverty.Unfortunately, the first category seems to be the one most in vogue at the moment, among Westerners and Chinese both. In the US, for example, the current President seems to adhere to the idea that China is directly stealing our wealth, as if that’s possible. Meanwhile, a lot of Chinese seem to think that China becoming wealthier must mean the West will be pushed down the ranks, to the position that China has previously occupied.I prophesize that neither of those things will happen, fortunately. I just hope this belief doesn’t cause any conflicts
在某種程度上，中國已經是一個發達國家了。與西方相比，中國農村地區不發達，人口貧乏，但仍是世界第二或第三大經濟體，也是增長最快的經濟體之一，如果CCP的數據值得相信。所以我們不需要猜測。我們已經可以看到會有什麼反應了。答案因西方人而異，因為根據任何合理的定義，我們西方大概有十億人。大多數情況下，人們的反應是以下兩種：1.不太懂經濟和地緣政治，認為這兩者都是零和遊戲，中國的崛起是對西方的直接攻擊，企圖攻擊我們的現在的地位。2.掌握基本知識，並知道一個更富裕的中國崛起不需要以犧牲富裕的西方為代價。事實上，日益壯大的中國中產階級和勤勞的中國商界為西方人提供了很多機會。那些不採用二元世界觀的人無疑會試圖利用中國的財富，就像他們利用中國的貧困一樣。
不幸的是，第一類人似乎是目前在西方人和中國人中最流行的一類。例如，在美國，現任總統似乎堅持認為中國正在直接竊取我們的財富，說的好像真的一樣。與此同時，許多中國人似乎認為，隨著中國變得越來越富裕，必然意味著西方將被推倒，讓出本應是中國以前佔據的地位。我預言這兩件事都很幸運地不會發生。我希望我的看法不會引起任何衝突
